Our encounters with both the ordinary and significant events in our lives can produce stressful reactions that leave us emotionally frayed, and psychologically depleted. We may become more vulnerable to doubts about our ability to cope, and, over time, this can leave us feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and anxious.
Stress reactions can undermine our confidence, the quality of our work, and our relationships with friends and family. Stress can also have a profoundly negative impact on our physical well-being.
Feelings of threat - real or imagined - send the body into high alert. Stress-related hormones rush into the bloodstream, muscles contract protectively, blood pressure elevates, breathing and digestion are disrupted, and the body moves into a state of tension and readiness. Both mind and body are vigilant.
Life provides us with many occasions to experience stress, and far fewer opportunities for a healthy release of tension. The stress we accumulate from the demands and complexity of daily living can leave many of us exhausted - estranged from others, uncomfortable within ourselves, with bodies feeling 'tied up in knots.'
